In 2014, Disney purchased Makers Studios (also a multi-channel network) for a sum total of nearly $1 billion dollars ($500 million in cash and stocks with an additional $450 million performance bonus).

Essentially a multi-channel network within another MCN, Revelmode will be headed by top YouTuber and gamer, PewDiePie, as the newest YouTube network's creative director. At 26, PewDiePie (who's real name is Felix Kjellberg) is best known for his unique commentary style on "Let's Plays" (a popular type of YouTube gaming format) and humorous "vlogs" (video-blogs). Forbes recently profiled PewDiePie as the richest YouTuber millionaire of 2015. To date, PewDiePie's YouTube channel has close to 42 million subscribers, nearly 11 billion total video views, and his most popular YouTube video "A Funny Montage" has over 71 million video views.
